A Hell Raven who inhabits the inner depths of Former Hell. Most of the youkai who inhabit Former Hell moved in when the place had turned to ruin. It appears however that the Hell Ravens were there from the beginning, native inhabitants if you will.

最近になって一部が地上と繋がった事で、存在が確認された固有種（＊１である。地獄の闇から生まれた鳥で、これといって妖怪としての特徴は無い。

Thanks to the recently established connection with the above world, the existence of this endemic species(*1) has been confirmed. A bird born from the darkness of hell, it does not have the specific characteristics of a youkai.

But, she is a special existence even among them. She possesses the named divine spirit within her body. Possessing a divine spirit means you have become like a walking branch shrine[1]. It is a difficult feat for both humans and youkai. It could be only done by one having no personality, as well as being unnamed, and without attachments, as well as having a great deal of tolerance that accepts everything. A lot of effort is also necessary. The easiest way would be to make your head completely hollow.

She has a queer appearance. Although she takes this mysterious appearance, she has the "Leg of Fission" which the existence of is suspicious, the "Leg of Fusion" which looks heavy, and she has a cannon-like object on her arm; this, in fact, is the "Third Leg" which is surprising to be a leg. She also has the bright red "Red Eye" on her chest; all of these are due to the affect of the Yatagarasu which she took in.

地上に出てくる事も、人間と接触する事も少ないので性格は不明である。

She doesn't come to the surface or interact with humans much so her personality is unclear.

判っているのは頭の中が空っぽであるという事くらいである。

What can be confirmed with certainty is that the inside of her head is pretty hollow.

八咫烏

Yatagarasu

彼女に宿された八咫烏という神霊は、古事記にも登場する程の格の高い神霊である。

The divine spirit taken inside of her, Yatagarasu, is a high status divine spirit that could appear even in the Records of Ancient Matters.

It is said that the Yatagarasu is a raven that lives within the sun. While a bit rough on the eyes, it's possible to see its form from above ground. This form of the Yatagarasu is the thing referred to as a 'sunspot'. Approximately once every 11 years its power grows, and it is said that sunspots can be seen in great numbers at that time.

この神様の力は太陽の力、神の火である。それがそのまま彼女の力になっている。

This God's power is the power of the sun, a divine flame. It is this power that has become hers.

The divine flame is above that of extreme heat, so it will continue to burn even if left as-is. This makes it extremely difficult to control. Her power is less the ability to release the divine flame and more, how to put it, utilize it by means of controlling it.

この神霊を宿す事になった理由は、八坂神奈子にあるらしい。

The reason she came to take in this divine spirit appears to be a cause made by Kanako Yasaka.

太陽というこれ以上無い神々しさと格を備えているのに、嫌われ者ばかりが棲む旧地獄に分霊を行かされた八咫烏は、今何を思っているのだろうか。

I wonder what the Yatagarasu has in its mind for being sent to the Former Hell to divide spirits with the hated residents, while it has the high-loyalty and the divinity of the Sun that couldn't be any more.

危険なのかどうかすら不明である。

It is not certain whether or not she's even dangerous.

地上に出てくる事は余りないが、地下にこういう妖怪が居る事だけは覚えておこう。

While they don't come above ground very often, it's at least worth remembering that such youkai exist below ground.

ちなみにこの妖怪のお陰で温泉が湧いている様である。恩恵に与っておこう。

By the way, thanks to this youkai a hot spring has appeared. One should take time to enjoy this blessing.
